Neptune Theatre is postponing the summer shows The Rocky Horror Show and The Argyle Street Kitchen Party.

“This is devastating for both our company and the community we serve – it will affect lives, livelihoods, community health, our local cultural landscape, and our regional economy,” Jeremy Webb, Neptune's artistic director, wrote in a letter to patrons.

“Nevertheless, we believe that postponing our summer shows is the right move in the interest of public health and safety and in deference to an abundance of caution.”

Those two shows will be included in the next season. Ticketholders can attend when the new dates are released, donate the tickets as a charitable donation or they can receive a gift certificate for the same price.

“Regarding our summer camps and classes, Neptune Theatre School is consulting with public health officials and community resources to determine how best to bring you theatre training this summer. Announcements will be made in early June,” said Webb in the letter.
